For bestowing the crown of Naples on his brother, the Count of Provence. Velly has defended it, Hist, de France, t. Vi. P. 57; and in the opinion of the learned Benedictine editors of L'Art de verifier les Dates, t. I. P. 585, cleared up all dif- ficulties as to its genuineness. In fact, however, the Pragmatic Sanction of St. Louis stands by itself, and can only be considered as a protestation against abuses which it was still impossible to suppress. Of this law, which was published in 1268, Si...smondi says, En lisant la prag- matique sanction, on se demande avec etonnement ce qui a pu causer sa prodi- gieuse celebrite. Elle n'introduit aucun droit nouveau; elle ne change rien a. L'organisation ecclesiastique; elle de- clare seulement que tous les droits exist- ans seront conserves, que toute la le- gislation canonique soit executee. _A l'exception de l'article v, sur la levees d'argent de la cour de Rome, elle ne contient rien que cette cour n'eut pu publier elle-meme; et quant a cet article, qui paroit seul dirige contre la chambre apostolique, il n'est pas plus precis que ceux que bien d'autres rois de France, d'Angleterre, et d'Alle- magne, avaient deja promulgues a flusieurs reprises, et toujours sans effet.
